SBVC’s First Bachelor’s Degree Program Takes Off!

San Bernardino Valley College is off to a strong start with its first bachelor’s degree program! The new Bachelor’s Degree in Water Resources Management attracted more than 100 applicants for Fall 2026, prompting SBVC to expand the cohort from 20 to 35 students.

The program prepares students for careers in the growing water industry, where more than one-third of the workforce is expected to retire within the next decade. With strong demand for qualified professionals and competitive salaries, water resources management offers exciting career opportunities throughout the Inland Empire.

“We are excited by the interest and appreciate the continued support of organizations such as the Water Energy Education Alliance,” said Melita Caldwell-Betties, chair of SBVC’s Water Supply Technology program. Learn More About the Program >>

California community colleges are helping fill workforce gaps statewide. Many industries—including healthcare, public safety, technology, AI, and cybersecurity—need more highly trained workers. Community college bachelor’s degrees are unique because they are developed with employers and designed to prepare students for good-paying, in-demand jobs close to home.



This isn’t about replacing the traditional path to a bachelor’s degree. It’s about expanding opportunities and strengthening the path to a successful career.
